Considering we both have GM Cards, she's owned/driven nothing but GM and short of a Mercury, I've had all GM's this was a bit unusual for us. I didn't really want another SUV that got around 20mpg (replacing our Bravada), but none of the American cute utes did it for us, and we still needed the cargo room. We even stooped to looking at the Maxx out of frustration/desperation (the Bravada was going to need $ sunk into it before the dead of winter). Also didn't want an SUV because resale could be squat in a couple years and I may not want it then if gas spikes. Anyhow, Chrysler had some great incentives last week and we got a 15k mile/year lease with zero down for $400 a month and I couldn't pass that up, at least not on a vehicle that invoices at $30k

I've always liked Jeeps. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

We just bought my wife another new car as well. The VW GTI is gone and has been replaced by a Mazdaspeed 6 (hey, mine's all wheel drive too (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ). Since she's been working and in school, I have no pics of it yet (I haven't seen it in daylight since we bought it). But it's one of these (in red, I was amazed she wanted red, but I actually really like it):

I get the Ford, Chrysler and GM discounts (X-plan, Supplier discount, etc). The Ford discount works on a Mazda, that made it a bit nicer.

We drove a Mazda 6 too, but the rear passenger space was disappointing. Liked the cargo space the 5-door provided though.
